Magma genesis, migration, and eruption have played prominent roles in the chemical differentiation of the Earth. Plate tectonics has provided the framework of tectonic environments for different suites of igneous rocks and the dynamic mechanisms for moving masses of rock into melting regions. Petrology is rooted in geophysics. Petrological and geophysical processes are calibrated by the phase e...

In this study, geophysics, geochemistry, and geostatistical techniques were integrated to assess seawater intrusion in Kapas Island due to its geological complexity and multiple contamination sources. Five resistivity profiles were measured using an electric resistivity technique. The results reveal very low resistivity <1 Ωm, suggesting either marine clay deposit or seawater intrusion or both ...

the kuh shah prospecting area is located in tertiary volcano-plutonic belt of the lut block. more than seventeen subvolcanic intermediate to acidic intrusive rocks, diorite to syenite in composition, were identified in the study area. the intrusions are related to hydrothermal alteration zones and contain argillic, propylitic, advanced argillic, silicified, quartz-sericite-pyrite, gossan and hy...

Over the past half century, I have maintained research collaborations with Australian scientists while pursuing an academic career focusing on scientific investigations of physical properties minerals at high pressures and temperatures. From 1970-1976, was a member faculty National University; initially in Department Geophysics Geochemistry later Research School Earth Sciences. In subsequent ye...

Today’s geologists have unprecedented access to multi-disciplinary geoscientific data and information. The problem in this “dataand informationrich” environment lies in implementing efficient approaches for verifying and integrating all available data and information. Effective integration leads directly to increased success potential and reduced exploration risk. Data verification is particula...

Muscovite granite (13.8% muscovite, 4.8% normafive corundum) was reacted, with varying percentages of H20, in cold-seal vessels at 2 kbar and in piston-cylinder apparatus between 10 and 35 kbar. The diagrams illustrating melting/crystallization relationships are: P-T sections with both excess H20 and with no H:O added (0.66% H20 in rock); T-X•2o sections at 15 kbar and 25 kbar showing H:O-under...
